... construction for n even joins each point to exactly 3 others. (23) (a) Since minimal investments must be made for 2, 2, 3, and 4 thousand dollars into the four mutual funds, this leaves 20 , 2 , 2 , 3 , 4 = 9 thousand dollars to invest as one pleases. Thus, we want to determine the number of ways of ...

Some remarks on iterated maps of natural numbers,
... In other words, to find the fixed points of φ2 , we need only find all the representations of 1 + b2 as a sum of two squares and from these representations determine the fixed points. For example, if 1 + b2 = p is prime, then as there is only one way to write a prime congruent to 1 (mod 4) as a sum of t ...

... 20. (d) From x2 – y2 = (x + y)(x – y) = 100 = (52)(22) the only possible pairs for (x + y) and (x – y) are (100,1), (50,2), (25,4), (20,5). The only case which gives integer values for x and y is x + y = 50 and x – y = 2 from which x = 26. 21. (c) Positive integers greater than 1 are relatively prim ...

... 6. The Floor Function, also called the greatest integer function, is denoted by bxc. It is defined as follows: bxc = n, where n is the unique integer such that n ≤ x < n + 1. The Ceiling Function, also called the least integer function, is denoted by dxe. It is defined as follows: dxe = n, where n i ...

... three or more are friends of A, or else at most two are friends of A (in which case three or more are strangers to A). We have to deal with both cases, but if we find an argument for the first case, then by swapping red and blue, it will work for the second case. So suppose that A has at least three ...
